This is the entrance of Shangrila! The area of the lobby is small but cosy. Everything there is made of wood and besides the lobby there were shelves that stocked cups of beef noodles and a fridge that sell Taiwanese beer, milk tea and soft drinks. Alvin and I bought some noodles and beer for our watching pleasure during the England V Trinindad & Tobago match!

While making the Tang Yuan, we sabo-ed Alvin to represent Singapore in the Tuo Ruo Competition! They were also representatives from Taiwan and Malaysia! In the end, Alvin got 2nd, his Tuo Ruo spinning for 19 secs!

Guess what is this???

We had our first hand experience in penning our wishes on the Tian Teng. I remembered watching people setting them up the sky in drama serials.

I even had my first try at playing fire crackers! Shiok! It was really dangerous and loud but was really exciting! We used incensed stick(those used for praying) to light up the end of the firecrackers, which actually looks like a rope.
